Bob Thomas Associated Press 08/07/2019
The film's distinction: it is neither dumb or vulgar, and its comedy comes from basic human emotions. Go to Full Review

4/5
Classic romantic triangle for teens and up. Go to Full Review
Geoff Andrew Time Out 06/24/2006
A romantic triangle dating movie as confected, and nearly as wholesome, as a '50s Universal bedroom farce, but lacking the confidence and zest. Go to Full Review

3.5/4.0
There are so many scenes in this film that make me smile. Go to Full Review
Nick Johnston Vanyaland 04/15/2020
It's light and affable, for the most part; it has a relatively novel premise, even if it's not really explored in depth; and it features three charming leads at a strong point in their careers. Go to Full Review

Norton quickly finds the right note of relaxed sweetness, gentle humor, and swooningly earnest romance. Go to Full Review

Deepika V Nov 18 My two faves Ben Stiller and Edward Norton in the same movie? I'm totally hooked! Norton directed this movie, and his talent as a director shined. His acting as a confused priest in love with his childhood best friend was sweet and charming. I like the themes of religious concepts combined with romance and drama. Norton does have a playful quirkiness to him when he acts in comedic roles, but he does better in more serious roles. A feel good romance movie to enjoy.

See more Enkh U 07/17/2024 We're dumb, we need dumb scenarios in our lives. Let's just keeping the faith!! See more Tomás B 11/29/2023 Entrentenida. Linda historia de amor. Si bien es cliché el orden en el que suceden las cosas, el planteo de inicio (rabino/cura) es distinto a otras pelis de misma característica. See more Bryan B 05/30/2023 Great acting, classic romcom See more Roy V 04/29/2023 Why don't we have actors of this caliber anymore? Imperceptibly, I found myself mentally and emotionally invested in all the talking points because of their natural interactions. It was fun / it was pensive. See more Read all reviews
